It's a bleeding market. We can't expect it to pump because of low volume to trigger the pump. Bulls always happen when huge news coming from them as people buying the hype and fear of missing out. Also bull could be trigger once the whole marketcap in general has increased huge amount. That's when the bulls enter.
today VeChain (VET) price is about $0.002985,
and i think you already knew the answer, because bears controlling the market now
maybe this conditions will continues until the end of this year
Almost half the OP stated. But still a good buy tho. Just wait if it could drop more.
